Question

The sum of two consecutive integers is 129. Find both integers.

Answer 1

Given that,

the two numbers are consecutive

The two numbers are

x and x + 1

Sum of the numbers = 129

x + (x + 1) = 129

x + x + 1 = 129

2x = 129 - 1

2x = 128

x = 128/2

x = 64

Therefore, the two numbers are x = 64 and x + 1 = 65
